Milestones? At 32 weeks, baby’s birth still seems kind of far away, but you and baby are physically ready in a lot of ways, just in case there’s an early arrival. Baby may have turned so she’s in the head-down position by now, poised for her trip down the birth canal. And you may have noticed your nipples looking darker. That’s so a preemie can see them for breastfeeding -- isn't your body so amazing? Intensity might be building in the symptoms department, as heartburn and contractions intensify around week 32. But we’re guessing you’re so excited about baby’s impending arrival, they’re not slowing you down much.
Other notes? Hopefully we will have a different vegetable next week!!

2 Years Old!

 He has grown up so much!

How Old? 2 Years! I can't believe it has been 2 years! He is such a big boy now.
Height and Weight? 31 inches and 22.5 Pounds. I thought he would be bigger but i was wrong.
Teeth? He has all of the teeth he is supposed to for right now. We brush them morning and night and still use toddler toothpaste.
Clothes? Mainly 18-24 months. I have been struggleing trying to find him pants to wear. He is very skinny so 12 month pants fit him in he waist but are about 3 inches too short. I found a pair of jeans at Old Navy that are 18-24 months and have an adjustable waist! They fit perfect.
Words? He can repeat just about any word you say. He Doesn't use very many double words such as "Get Daisy". I asked the doctor about this and she said to give him 3 months. He is very focused on his physical development right now and they usually don't work on physcial and verbal at the same time.
Food? He is not a picky eater but rather a moody one. He likes all different things but I never know what he is going to be in the mood to eat! The other night he only ate broccoli.
Activities? He got a train table and set for his birthday and he loves it! It is pretty much all he plays with. He also loves to color and paint. He gets very into everything he does and is very serious about it.
What Happened? School has started back and he is doing great in his class and we celebrated his second birthday.
My Toddler This Month? A child this age wears his heart on her sleeve — and in his voice, his fists, his stamping feet, and his crocodile tears. You seldom have to guess about a 2-year-old's emotional state. Expressing emotions is healthy, even when they aren't happy ones. So don't feel you have to rush in to placate your child at the first pout or sad sniffle. Let your child know that it's okay to be unhappy sometimes — it's simply part of life. Swooping in to vanquish the unhappiness sends the wrong message — that it's not okay to feel sad or mad. Solving every problem for your child also robs him of the opportunity to work through her feelings on her own. What you can do: Label her feelings for her. "You're so mad at Mommy because she said no park today!" Let him know you have the same feelings, too, sometimes: "It makes you feel sad when we say bye-bye to Grandma. It makes me feel sad, too." If your child screams or hits when he's angry or upset, show him acceptable ways to vent her emotion, like punching a pillow or stamping her feet.

What I am looking forward to? Washing all of the princess's clothes.
Milestones? This week, your baby measures over 16 inches long. She weighs about 3.3 pounds (try carrying four navel oranges) and is heading into a growth spurt. She can turn her head from side to side, and her arms, legs, and body are beginning to plump out as needed fat accumulates underneath her skin. She's probably moving a lot, too, so you may have trouble sleeping because your baby's kicks and somersaults keep you up. Take comfort: All this moving is a sign that your baby is active and healthy. Have you noticed the muscles in your uterus tightening now and then? Many women feel these random contractions — called Braxton Hicks contractions — in the second half of pregnancy. Often lasting about 30 seconds, they're irregular, and at this point, they should be infrequent and painless. Frequent contractions, on the other hand — even those that don't hurt — may be a sign of preterm labor. Call your practitioner immediately if you have more than four contractions in an hour or any other signs of preterm labor: an increase in vaginal discharge or a change in the type of discharge (if it becomes watery, mucus-like, or bloody — even if it's pink or just tinged with blood); abdominal pain or menstrual-like cramping; an increase in pressure in the pelvic area; or low back pain, especially if you didn't have it before. You may have noticed some leaking of colostrum, or "premilk," from your breasts lately. If so, try tucking some nursing pads into your bra to protect your clothes. (And if not, it's certainly nothing to worry about; your breasts are making colostrum all the same, even if you don't see any.) If your current bra is too snug, you might also want to pick up a nursing bra. Choose a nursing bra at least one cup size bigger than you need now. When your milk comes in you'll be grateful for that extra room!
Other notes? I made two trips to labor and delivery this week for preterm contractions. Both times they were stopped with Brethine and they are not causing any cervical changes! Thank God! hey also did a Fetal Fibronectin test that came back negative. That means I have a 99% chance of not going into labor for the next 2 weeks. My doctor will probably check me every appointment now and do the test again every so often just to make sure. I want her to cook as long as she needs. I was told I have an irritable uterus and that I will probably have these contractions until she is delivered but she still has a good chance of staying put until 40 weeks or so.

What I miss? Being able to eat. I feel like this entire pregnancy I have not been able to eat.
What I am looking forward to? My appointment on Thursday.
Milestones? Your baby's about 15.7 inches long now, and she weighs almost 3 pounds (like a head of cabbage). A pint and a half of amniotic fluid surrounds her, but that volume will decrease as she gets bigger and takes up more room in your uterus. Her eyesight continues to develop, though it's not very keen; even after she's born, she'll keep her eyes closed for a good part of the day. When she does open them, she'll respond to changes in light but will have 20/400 vision — which means she can only make out objects a few inches from her face. (Normal adult vision is 20/20.) You may be feeling a little tired these days, especially if you're having trouble sleeping. You might also feel clumsier than normal, which is perfectly understandable. Not only are you heavier, but the concentration of weight in your pregnant belly causes a shift in your center of gravity. Plus, thanks to hormonal changes, your ligaments are more lax, so your joints are looser, which may also contribute to your balance being a bit off. Also, this relaxation of your ligaments can actually cause your feet to spread permanently, so you may have to invest in some new shoes in a bigger size.
Other notes? I can wait to meet her!

Milestones? Baby already measures about 15.2 to 16.7 inches long. Right now, she weighs about 2.5 to 3.8 pounds but she's still got a ways to go -- can you believe she'll triple in weight before birth? She's getting a little cramped in there, since she's growing so fast. But you probably already realize that, since you're getting all those jabs and kicks. She's growing white fat deposits under her skin, and her energy is surging because of it. Feel a subtle twitch? It might be baby hiccupping.
Other notes?  My appointment went well this week. I will now be seen every 2 weeks. My glucose test and my hemoglobin were normal. My iron levels were actually high which is great!
